           Summary: Make x-cocoon-version header optional
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: 2.1.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P4
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: dev@cocoon.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


While the X-Cocoon-Version header (added in 2.0.2) can be useful on occasion,
our Security team are objecting to it on the grounds that it helps hackers to
fingerprint our site & the technologies that drive it.  A quick search here in
Bugzilla and they could discover all the known vulnerabilities that are present
in the version we're using...

I was disappointed to find, however, that there isn't an easy way to disable
this header, other than modifying the source and rebuilding.  I'd been hoping
for a parameter somewhere (e.g. an init parameter on the servlet) that allows it
to be switched off (the default could be to include it, as at present).  Perhaps
one could/should be added?
